The École Supérieure des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales, more commonly known as ESSEC Business School or simply ESSEC, is a business school and grande école based in France. Founded in 1907, its principal campus is located in Cergy in the île-de-France region, but also has locations in La Défense, Rabat, and Singapore.^[6]

Founded by Jesuits in response to the creation of HEC Paris, it remained independent of any chamber of commerce and industry before passing it in 1981 under the control of the Versailles, which became the CCI of Paris Île-de-France in 2013. Today, ESSEC is a member of the CY Alliance, formerly Université Paris-Seine.

The ESSEC group delivers numerous training courses in administration and management, in particular through its post-preparatory class course called the "Grande École Program" conferring the master's degree. It also offers a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) through the ESSEC Global BBA program, a specialized masters (SM), a master's degree in business administration (MBA), and doctorates.

Historical rival of HEC Paris^[7][8] and ESCP Business School, ESSEC forms with the latters the group of "three Parisians", which designates the three most prestigious business schools in France.
